Or do you use the tools so seamlessly that you do not even know you are using it? I heard yesterday afternoon how Howard incorporate the tools into his teaching class- inspirational Are busy loading RSS feeds onto my Netvibes Universe. We will learn more about Netvibes from Bronwyn today. I use to use igoogle, but I must confess, netvibes is much easier to use and it has a public page that is easy capeasy to set up. Tony says it uses a lot of bandwidth, but I am not really noticing a slowdown here....????? Seeing that we have been twitteriing, I have done a tweetscan for the word "emerge2008" to add as an RSS feed to my Netvibes universe. Tweetscan is like a search engine for tweets. I also follow the tag "web 2.0" and "education" through tweetscan and have chosen to receive it via e-mail (a dumb thing to do actually as my e-mailbox is in desperation mode-I think I should read it through my rss feeds on netvbibes rather) Maybe I should go and get a real live Feed (breakfast)? Am I the only one who play with the tools, or are you all to busy reading papers and commenting?

But then sometimes I find the online takes so much time to fit in and around a normal working day. It can be hard to give it all the attention you would like. ~ Bron Yes I agree – sometimes only we go deeper, think more, ask more questions and more thoughtful online.
